Clement's Letter to the Corinthians at the end of the first century,

Could you supply a link to that letter?

My research shows St. John of Damascene in the 8th Century was the 1st to propose that

'The tone of authority with which the letter speaks is noteworthy, especially in the later part (56, 58, etc.): "But if certain persons should be disobedient unto the words spoken by Him through us let them understand that they will entangle themselves in no slight transgression and danger; but we shall be guiltless of this sin" (59). "It may, perhaps, seem strange", writes [distinguished Anglican scholar] Bishop [J.B.] Lightfoot, "to describe this noble remonstrance as the first step towards papal domination. And yet undoubtedly this is the case." (I, 70.)' - http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04012c.htm
